Simple Mobile Tools That Don't Spy On You 

Stay tuned for his review of ls, rm, cd, and mkdir

truly a magical moment

The future is now

@@BigYoshi826 funny thing is i'd watch it and probably enjoy it too.

mkdir wants to know your loctation enter credit kard number to allow acecs

They are still 100% open source tho

Their calculator app is trash now. Way too slow to open and has ads.

​​@@hyplayerThey're required to be, but probably aren't.

I would love a ROM for the vivo y91

There's already AOSP apps that do the same thing, even tho these ones are way mose useful lmao

Arrow os

@@integre23 vivo bootloaders aren't unlockable.

LineageOS has pretty good stock apps for most things. (Calender, camera, music etc.). I would say they are better than those. However the notes and drawing apps are pretty nice. (Even though the design of them is pretty bad).

@Zelená Žaba Google pixel 6 is the last phone I'd expect to run Linux, since Google owns Android and they showcase the latest features in the pixel phones

Companies caring more about linux* Devs usually prefer to do all their work on linux, it's one of the reasons crosscompiling is so popular

@@ibrasome4492 the pixel is one of the phone's that has the best support to unlock the bootloader and put other OS on them

@@notafbihoneypot8487 Well yeah but that doesn't mean it will have Linux. It will be quite ironic if it did have it because google would definitely prefer it running their own OS 'android' on their own phone

@Zelená Žaba a chinese tablet distro can already run android apps fine

PLEASE TELL ME THE FORK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

@@erc3338 It's called Fossify. The name is quite bad but the apps are the same

get fossify! its a way better alternative as they are made from the same developer and it offers way more customization...

@@raj18x do they have a gallery?

@@raj18x Fossify is the fork and spiritual successor. Though I still recommend to install the version from FDroid, because even though the new guy seems to be upstanding, you never know.

lmao really istg

N.S.A. kinda sus

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Don’t use it. It’s proprietary garbage

Ask Tim Cook he will give premium access to any phone

hold on I thought the overseas stuff was the CIA's job.

does he though

@@en7998 He did for me at the time, I assume he is still active. He personnaly used to reply both to email and google play reviews.

@Pink_Joji You should probably ask Google about that. :) In any case the process if possible, is not simple. Many would have caught them in the act if it was obvious. The biggest problem with Big Tech spying, is when you allow or accept terms and conditions that you are unaware of what they are doing. That is why many people love free and open source licences like the ones accepted by the free software foundation. In many cases, the Big Tech puts small lines in the terms and conditions, which allow them to process your data (text, audio, video etc). So if you don't allow them, it's very hard for them to track you, however, if you allow them or if they have serious security bugs, they or someone else would gain access. Samsung for example, has Galaxy Store (which you cannot remove unless you install another OS) to install whatever apps they want all the Samsung users to have, kinda like Google Play can update itself whether you like it or not. These updates often cripple the phones, so once fast and performace ready devices, become bloated, slowed etc. That is why many people install Lineage OS on devices like Xiaomi, Samsung etc.

That's still a low standard.

@@folksurvival How exactly? Elaborate...

Hahahahahaha Luke Smith Distrotube Just "Linus" and let people piece together if it's Tech Tips or Torvalds

He didn't missed the opportunity. It has all those contacts... on the SIM.

The apps purely follow the "traditional" UNIX philosophy of doing one simple job but (hopefully) doing it well.

what's a good file manager?

@@newblue3256 material files. it's foss and supports material you.

Honestly donating to open source software like office suites, video editors, Daws, art software, and other stuff like that is the best way to support getting people on Linux since right now the main barrier of entry is the lack of professional/high end tools of open source nature right now

what normies can do is to spread linux, by telling their friends or family members to use foss instead of proprietary binaries...

Reporting bugs or requesting features. Just say what is the problem, that's it.

@@gaurabgain2782 this, the more people that use it the more will donate.

@@gaurabgain2782 high entry barrier

me too. I used Simple Calendar because the stock one didn't allow me to set events that repeat for a specified number of weeks

@@AnonymousGentooman Well, tell someone who just wants simple mobile tools to compile stuff from github...

Agreed, yeah.

Yessss

You can always mine it, also they're trying to add atomic swaps to deal with that issue.

Monero ATMs, if you have one available near you? Or if you have a Bitcoin ATM, buy Bitcoin through it and do an atomic swap to Monero.

Just buy it from normal KYI requiring exchanges. They can't link your wallet to your ID

@@Cookiekeks They can't link it to your ID, however with the US governments stance on privacy coins right now I wouldn't be surprised if the feds put you on some type of list

@@6ix157 Hm yes, but lets be honest that's very paranoid. You could maybe buy a normal coin, mix it, and then exchange it to monero on a crypto only exchange, if you want to avoid that the exchange knows you bought monero

He's reviewing specifically F-Droid apps in this video. LineageOS uses standard "Google Contacts" it's OSS but possibly spooky

ya, probably gonna play some more hitman when I have down time.

@@Vondra666 their roms are shit, but yeah considering prices of machine I would not regret buying it

permission to copy your homework

DuckDuckGo is your friend.

Salve compadre ancap 🇧🇷

@@SrIgort Salve, compatriota otaku🇧🇷

Salve

Oloko, vai dizer que assiste ancapsu tbm?

@@gitshell sim, também vejo visão libertária, marco batalha e derivados.

He sounds like older Emperor Tigerstar.

>leftover debug code in final release requires additional privacy permissions The absolute state of proprietary software.

That doesn't make me feel any better about it

PHP, the shittiest language ever made

@@nikoraasu6929 you must be a very experienced programmer. Have you tried writing something more than hello world?

No you are not the minority. I cannot speak to the Apple thing as I am a non-Apple user (I don't hate Apple, just never used it). However, three years ago I switched to Android from Windows phone (Win 8.1 mobile). There was a definite learning curve. It is not too rough. Keep at it, you get onto Android fairly soon. Once learned, I found the Android OS to be pretty awesome.

Is there any particular reason you use AAC over mp3 or FLAC? Also, I'm curious if you would be able to play the files better streaming them from a self-hosted server using a service like Jellyfin. Obviously that requires an internet connection, so it's not the same thing, but it would also save you on storage space.

@@Kevin_Anderson None really. It started from the Nokia days. My first rips were obviously some 128kbps MP3 files, but Nokia was pushing AAC around that time IIRC (I think the phones had a hardware level decoding support for that), because it was a better and more "efficient" codec, so I ripped newer songs to AAC and noticed a definite increase in sound quality. Since then, it's been mostly a habit and trying to keep all my on the go music in the same format. The new LAME MP3 codec is awesome and sounds great, but I have understood AAC is still "more efficient" and saves space. I don't drag any high quality headphones with me, so I'm not going to hear a difference with FLAC most likely. I do have almost all of my music in FLAC on a USB stick connected to my TV, so I can listen lossless tracks on my receiver and speakers, because there I do notice a difference in sound quality, and secondly my TV also has issues with AAC files (skipping some tracks claiming that they are unsupported, despite being from the same album, from the same batch of rips, long or short doesn't matter, and neither does the naming/odd characters). So yeah, mostly a habit. VLC plays them well enough, as does simple music player. My older phone, which I now use mostly for music, isn't connected to the internet outside of home, so I can't really do streaming with it.

My gripe with Open Camera is that it doesn't recognize the Simple Gallery app as a gallery, so if you tap on the photo you just took, it always says no gallery app found
